http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/newcastlejets/news-display/Jets-sign-Sam-Gallagher/91214? True story though. Let me know how many board members have died of a heart attack later.....
It's hardly rocket science is it DTLW? It's a true story from the Australian A-League that newsnow have incorrectly put under 'Southampton', and while we're all in a meltdown/partial meltdown/still recovering from the last meltdown some people may indeed be fooled/tricked for a few seconds by the headline (and then relieved afterwards when they realise it's not true). It's very much the same as any of the other posts where somebody 'signs' and then it's actually just a picture of a sign. It's not meant to be particularly funny per se, just a little light hearted.
If I have a heart attack - which if ever, hopefully won't be for another couple of decades yet - and die from it, I'm sure it will been caused by this.
Just because the majority of people always back you up because they like to lick your arse, doesn't mean you have to be such a grumpy bastard to everyone that posts something you don't find funny.
It was funny because It's not outside the realms of possibility that our Sam Gallagher would join the English Newcastle.
